This exciting building is the home of our next exhibition: 'Storm Front'. It has a rich history in the story of Porthleven. Built in 1894 for £1395 it launched the lifeboats in Porthleven until 1929. After this the slipway for the boats was dismantled and the building went through many guises through the years before being turned into the Lifeboat Art Studio that it is today, almost 100 years later.
It's now run by the lovely Rosie from Porthleven Holiday Cottages who let us in to take some sneak peak photos to share with you all...
When we first stepped inside we were awed by the bright, surprisingly large, space. We can't wait to see the inside of this studio full of art, people and life
Through the salt water sprayed door you can see the famous Porthleven clock tower
Just waiting for the art...
Willow came along to check out the view (she say's it'll do!)
We hope you like this little sneak peak into the Studio and hope you'll want to come and see the space used and full of life on the 20th to the 22nd of December!
